It's a start

Amendment 1 does not solve all our property tax problems, but it is a start and does not prevent further tax reform in the future, or negate Save Our Homes.

The scare tactics used by various groups and government officials are doing us a disservice. If this does not pass, nothing will change. It could be several years before the issue is considered again.

Don't think a no vote means that this November a different measure will be on the ballot. The Legislature had to be dragged kicking and screaming through two special sessions to draft this amendment after putting it off time after time.

Although Amendment 1 may not be perfect, waiting for perfection is not a very good choice.
